Is there any particular visa requirement to get a savings account here. Is a W-P 100% required? Any banks for more tourist friendly than others? Ask for a long-term tourist friend

Do freelancers have to pay tax if they stay with DTV visa ? I will leave before 180 days to visa extend. I am worried that I will be asked again if I return after 2 weeks after leaving the country. If you know the rates to pay, please let me know 🙏

If I come back with DTV for the second time, do I have to show the show money 500,000 baht again? How much should I show 🙏 I don't have a Thai bank account because it's difficult to open a Thai bank with DTV.

I recently saw posts here and TikToks of people opening accounts at TTB. So, I went to the TTB branch at Big C Extra On Nut in Bangkok and opened an account. I also got myself an ATM card, and it cost me literally nothing—not even a deposit. The staff were quite helpful and assisted me throughout the entire process, including the bank application and setting up the ATM card password.

The bank has a list of required documents for DTV holders opening an account. Here is the list:

* Passport

* Visa

* A document issued by the Thai government or the applicant’s country of origin, such as an ID card or driver's license

* Lease agreement

* TM30

* Residential house registration

Additional documents:

* Job statement

* Job contract

* Proof of soft power-related activities (e.g., Muay Thai, Thai culinary training, medical treatment), such as an invitation letter, etc.

Bring all of these documents along with copies.

In my case, I provided all of them since I had them.

DTV approved applied on Jan 5 and approved on Jan 12 from Hà Nội.

Now looking to open a Thai bank account. Anyone know how to get this done with or without agent?

From chiang Mai BKK or Hua Hin

Is it possible to open Thai Bank account as DTV holder?

I want to know if I find an agent to open a bank account with DTV, how much would they charge? Thanks🙏

Has anyone been able to open a thai bank account from Chiang Mai with a DTV? Bangkok Bank just told me they dont open accounts for DTV holders, SCB just told me they require at least a 1 year stamp which is impossible with DTV, got a few other banks I could try but pretty sure SCB and BKbank were my best chances.

What Happen with the 800000 bht deposit in your Thai Bank account in Case you die? I Hope the Thai government wont keep IT🤔

Can you open a Thai Bank account if you have DTV?
